Psalms for Sunday, LXX

The bars on the windows attempt to attach themselves to my heart
but you are with me and the room becomes bigger. Death is around every corner
but you are with me and life conquers death.

Your presence is my help, and it is my salvation. Thoughts
assail and attack but the helmet of salvation renders the lies lifeless and
they have no power. Show me your goodness; let me test your faithfulness.
Extend your hand and give me strength.

In the deepest pit, you are there. The angel of the Lord is around
the one who trusts you. The puzzle pieces are sorted and set in your light;
there is no light except for you and those who stand in it have revelation.
